79 – Chapter 3. Goblin’s Path

Ermina Sternfert.

Class A talent.

The ability to create sound waves by adding mana to one’s voice.

“uh…?”

When I opened my eyes, everything I could say was gone.

The mana that filled his body evaporated anywhere, and a deep fatigue that he had never felt since becoming a person with special powers weighed down his whole body.

As if something like water was pressing down on the body.

All I can see in front of my blurry vision is a piece of clothing that looks like a patient’s uniform, but nothing is holding my stomach down, but my body feels heavy.

“I….”

“Are you out of your mind?”

He was lying in a hospital-like place.

It wasn’t just lying down, it was ‘restrained’ with its hands and feet tied to something.

“How did this happen…”

“Where should I start explaining?”

The man who appeared to be a faculty member took out a tablet in a stiff voice.

“Don’t scream, just listen slowly. There’s probably a lot to talk about. I hope you don’t interrupt me in the middle by screaming ‘What are you talking about?!’ or ‘Nonsense!’ ’cause it’s true.”

“…….”

What the hell are you trying to say?

Ermina couldn’t understand that ‘incompetent person’ who was giving her a contemptuous look at her that seemed both annoying and annoyed.

“One. You attacked fellow Ymir student during field training in March. You tried to take mana powder inside the sea cave, and Ymir student found it, and you attacked Ymir student to block his mouth. thing.”

“That’s nonsensical-“

“Do not deny. The forensic team and investigators have already completed all investigations. All evidence of your crime has been secured. Your Taegeuk watch, student Ymir’s Taegeuk watch. The data contained in it. I have secured it.”

“under….”

He wanted to deny that he was framed, but he already had no Taegeuk watch on his wrist.

“Who wants Taegeuk Watch…!”

“Two. Ermina Sternfert was expelled. She did two things that you shouldn’t do as a student. She touched mana powder and tried to kill a fellow student.”

“That’s right, E-class…!”

“three.”

In a cold voice, the faculty member deliberately interrupted and took a long breath.

“Ermina Sternfert is no longer an A-class psychic. You have lost all your mana and have become unable to use this psychic ability.”

“I beg your pardon…?”

“Doesn’t that make you feel better?”

“Ah, ah… aaa!!

Ermina screamed.

It wasn’t because he was in pain, but because his voice was one of his superpowers.

“…128 decibels. That’s high. This is the maximum frequency you can emit. It’s definitely different from when you shout with mana.”

“Hey, the machine is broken…”

“That’s not going to happen. You, a person with special abilities, should know better. You’re in a ‘Zen Loss’ state where you’ve lost all your mana.”

“My-I’m Zenross…?! That’s ridiculous!”

“Don’t often say that it doesn’t make sense. I don’t believe what I’m saying now, but it’s all true. Your hair has turned white now, and all of your superpowers have disappeared. You’re now… ‘ is correct.”

“…….”

this ability has disappeared.

The ability he had from birth, the ability he always used after establishing himself, disappeared.

“It’s extremely rare, but it happened often in Quebec, Canada, and New York, USA.”

“Ha, but that’s less than 10 people…on this Sejong Island…!”

“You’re the first case. Well, it might have something to do with the goblin that attacked you.”

“It wasn’t the goblin that attacked me-“

No words came out.

No more words came out, as if something had caught a rope around his neck.

“…if there’s one thing the investigators haven’t made clear yet, it’s how you were attacked by goblins.”

“I…Keugh?!”

“The goblin did something really bad. Did the goblin do something? Did the goblin do a ban? Did the goblin get rid of your ability?”

“Oh no…! You did this to me…!”

The faculty member asked several questions, but Ermina was silent.

because of the curse.

“If that’s the case, you are the first case of losing this ability to a goblin. It’s also a living proof that the goblin has the ability to remove a person with a special ability.”

“Oh no…!”

“Was there anyone else?”

“……!!”

“Looks like the ban is triggered. Every time you try to say something, something like a red string is shining. It’s confirmed that the goblin also uses this ability… It may not actually be true, but it’s possible…”

“Ugh, ugh…!”

Conversation doesn’t work

Ermina tried to get up somehow and find someone she could talk to, but she couldn’t get out of the restraints that tightly bound her wrists and ankles.

“Release me now! What are you doing! I’m…Sternfert!”

“Yes. I’m not an A-class person, I’m just a Sternfert person. The Academy has already sent all the investigation materials regarding the current situation to Stern. And this is Stern’s official position.”

The teaching staff took out a video that seemed to have been prepared with a tablet.

“grandfather…?”

There, a half-naked gray-haired old man was holding a press conference in a black suit.

[sorry.]

With a serious face, he threw a hwadu in a little bit of awkward Korean, then came out to the side of the podium and bent his waist at 90 degrees.

[It’s my fault for raising my granddaughter wrong. The responsibility for this is to resign from the position of chairman of the company, to compensate financially for the damage caused by my granddaughter, and to fulfill my responsibility as a sincere apology to those who have been harmed.]

“…why?”

“You don’t know what mana powder is. No matter how it was there, mana powder is…”

The faculty member shook his head with a serious face.

“That it’s the remains of someone under the age of 25.”

“…….”

“Ermina Sternfert.”

The faculty member turned over the last screen of the tablet.

“You have the right to remain silent and…”

“Wait!! Why, why are you notifying me of the Miranda principle…!

“Even if you don’t acknowledge it, the whole world recognizes you. You are a ‘normal person’…’a person with no power’ to whom the Miranda principle applies.”

“…….”

“You’ve crossed the line. It’s a shame you lost all of these abilities, otherwise you wouldn’t be here today.”

The faculty member got up from his seat with a tablet.

“Because it is a goblin to execute villains mercilessly.”

* * *

– She’s a woman who did crazy things with the death of young children. Why didn’t she kill her?

“Even if I don’t kill you, society will kill you on its own, so there’s no reason to have blood on my hands.”

In response to the swear words about Ermina that were filling the Internet community, I responded with upbringing without even realizing it.

-…Stern’s chairman apologized and resigned through a press conference, but the antipathy toward Stern shows no signs of diminishing. Protests are taking place in front of each Stern branch, burning or destroying Stern’s cars, not only in Korea but also overseas….

Most of the stories have already surfaced in the news that is played to see what is going on in the world, that is, how the general public is accepting it.

No matter how much the world has become like this, there is a minimum ethical last line that should not be touched.

Mana powder directly touches that ethics, and that’s why no one carelessly touches it.

‘In the original work, the main character said he hated it, so I quit right away, so it’s a shame.’

In the original work, Ermina is in volume 1, that is, after falling in love with the main character.

On the surface, he did not bring up the story of taking mana powder.

However, in this world, Ermina will no longer have a so-called crush on the main character, and rather, she will not be able to show her face any more.

The original has been changed.

Whether it is a change caused by me or a change caused by Ymir.

As long as I am no longer a goblin at the end of a low-class evil organization, but I have become a new being, the main flow of the original work has reversed.

The main character was a man.

So I tried to kill the man.

But the main character was a woman.

So, do I have to kill the main character unconditionally?

“……No.”

I headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

After being completely naked, I turned my head while enjoying the water dripping down from above in the shower booth.

“…If the genre has changed, I have to adapt to the new genre.”

The reason for trying to kill the main character was fundamentally to prevent the destruction of the world.

I wanted to eliminate the existence that could destroy the world in order to protect the world that the gunman would rule so that the world would be dominated by the gunman and unify this beggar world into one ideology.

In order to prevent the meteorite ending, I tried to deal with the main character in the easiest way.

It’s because he’s gone mental.

But for women, it’s a different story.

Unlike men, if you are a woman, I can somehow take care of your mentality by your side.

– Jihwan oppa, do you really want to see me go crazy?

Aren’t women difficult to deal with?

Aren’t men easier to care for?

-Jihwan hyung, do you really want to see me go crazy?

…If that happens, maybe I’ll find a way to drop the meteorite.

“I’m a man, and she’s a woman, so it can’t be helped.”

I’m sorry for the original protagonist, but this is natural.

“All of this to protect the world where the gunman will rule.”

Because Ymir is a woman.

“I put Ymir next to me and take care of it exclusively.”

woman.

heroin.

‘To protect this world and the earth, I’m going to become a scumbag.’

Making her a mother would also be a way to prevent the end of the world.

yes.

That is the path of a villain, a goblin.
